Designers Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prévost took the strengths and weaknesses of the older Lagoon 47 and created a multifaceted multihull, ready to play the role of a liveaboard, charter boat, or long-distance cruiser. The transition from the Lagoon 47 to the Lagoon 470 entailed a major hull and deck redesign and a new approach to the use of space below, resulting in a truly new boat.

The older Lagoon 47 was popular in the charter trade, and a feedback loop among clients, skippers, and the builder set the stage for modifications that would benefit the new boat. A good part of the reason for the success of the Lagoon 470 lies in how effectively the builder and design team, rather than simply starting from scratch, used this accumulated history in the evolutionary design and construction of a new sailboat. With an overall length of over 47 feet and nearly 26 feet of beam, there’s room on deck and below to keep guests and friends enjoying themselves and out of each other’s personal space. There’s also an efficient davit arrangement astern for a decent-sized RIB and plenty of stowage for dive gear, windsurfers, and other essentials of tropical living.

Beneath the upscale gleam of brightwork and decorator-chosen fabrics lies the nitty-gritty of a carefully crafted sailboat. In this case, it’s a story of well-chosen materials and even better quality control in the factory. When I first stepped aboard the Lagoon 470 during this year’s Boat of the Year contest, I noticed that the glasswork looked like aircraft quality even in the hidden spaces. In tight transom corners and up under the hull/deck flange are my favorite places to shine a flashlight beam to look for rough edges, poor bonds, voids, and other signs of sloppy workmanship. From stem to stern, the Lagoon was effectively engineered and put together with a healthy dose of due diligence.

Construction Quality

One of the key factors contributing to the quality of the FRP laminate was the experience of the builder, CNB Marine, located in Bordeaux, France. It’s a yard accustomed to high-end boatbuilding and one that’s familiar with vacuum bagging and resin-infusion molding. Add to this its use of vinylester resin and a crew well trained to handle composite sandwich structures. When it comes to building cruising boats with core material, resin infusion offers two big pluses. The first is a higher fiber-to-resin ratio, which yields a stronger, lighter, better-bonded composite structure. The second is in the way resin infusion fills the kerfs, or slots, between the checkerboardlike cuts in the core. With vacuum bonding, atmospheric pressure acts as a giant vise that forces resin into the core slots and eliminates future avenues for water ingress.

The edge of the deck isn’t cored, and this solid perimeter lands on an inward-turning flange on the hull. The overlap is secured with Sikaflex, and the joint is also mechanically fastened with stainless-steel compression rivets. Like the rest of the boat, the hull/deck joint is well engineered and capably executed.

One of the most noticeable changes from the old Lagoon 47 to the new Lagoon 470 is in the shape of the deckhouse itself. In the new design, there’s a vertical leading edge that combines with 14 windows to greatly enhance visibility and lessen the greenhouse effect associated with the old boat’s sloped leading edge to the deckhouse. However, one side-effect of the new cabin design is it’s exposure to boarding seas in extreme, storm-tossed oceanic conditions. Many multihull experts recommend deploying a sea anchor from the bow in extreme conditions, and this tactic would expose the leading edge of the house to the full brunt of each breaking sea. Representatives of the builder stated that extra reinforcement has been placed in the vertical members between each window and that the windows themselves are securely held in place with a high-tech adhesive sealant.

The no-nonsense double-headsail fractional sloop rig stands 69 feet above the water and spreads a working sail plan of 1,292 square feet, including the genoa. I found the 807-square-foot mainsail easy for a medium-size crew to reef and handle, thanks to effective control lines and a traveler that extends across nearly the full beam of the boat. This is a really good-sized mainsail; the smaller the crew, the more attentive one needs to be about not letting a quartering breeze build to half a gale before thinking about tucking in a reef. As with most cats, the traveler control line plays a key role in adjusting trim for each minor change in angle of attack, and even though most cruisers aren’t overly interested in vertical wind shear and trimming a mainsail to cope with this nuance on opposing tacks, it’s nice to see a boat with a traveler, sheet, and vang arrangement that’s makes it an easy task to accomplish.

The steering was smooth and responsive, and the single helm’s port location worked well in conjunction with the simple yet protective tubular bimini top. Good visibility made the helmsman’s role a lot easier, and sheets terminated nearby for convenient sail trim. The big cat showed a willingness to come through the eye of the wind without much hesitation, and the lateral plane derived from the small keels lessened leeway and improved the boat’s pointing ability. She didn’t climb to weather as well as boats with deep daggerboards, but the loss of this small amount of windward ability will be considered a fair trade by those uninterested in pulling lines to hoist and drop the daggerboards when sailing to windward.

When you’re reaching under mainsail and genoa and the Lagoon 470 sees the south side of 10 knots of breeze, she begins to bog down; three choices come to mind. Option One is to kick back and keep plugging along with the monohulls and all but the ultralight cats and trimarans. Alternative Two is to wind up the jib and fire up the smooth-running Yanmars, giving you an instant 8-knot option. Third is the best option of all: a good complement of light-air sails. Consider an optional gennaker or spinnaker package and up the sailing pleasure quotient by a significant amount. A snuffer sock for the asymmetric spinnaker and a furling unit for the drifter/ code zero can really make these sails much easier to handle. The Lagoon 470 is light enough (about 10 tons light trim) to respond to the sail-area increase, and the builder offers running rigging and hardware that makes light-air sailing even more user-friendly.

Power and Systems

Twin naturally aspirated Yanmars are fitted with saildrives. Standard 40-horsepower engines will push the boat at hull speed in a calm, but for those who often find time constraints impeded by a landfall that lies directly to windward, 56-horsepower Yanmars may bridge the gap. Both engines will use about the same amount of fuel at speeds common to both engines. Tankage is a big issue in multihulls for several reasons, not the least of which is the weight of fluids and the performance-robbing nature associated with overloading lean, long hulls. Once again, Lagoon finds a moderate compromise, with fuel and water providing mirror-image capacity in each hull that adds up to 158 gallons of water and 126 gallons of fuel. Those who fit out a watermaker might want to flip-flop the fuel and water stats. The 15-gallon holding tank may meet the letter of the law, but with up to four cabins’ worth of company on board, daily pumpouts would become an unwelcome ritual.

Lagoons headed for the States go through an equipment upgrade custom blended for the North American market. In the case of the Lagoon 470 we sailed last fall, it included a Profurl headsail-furling system, a Lofrans 1,500-watt anchor windlass, an extensive Raymarine electronics package including radar and GPS, and other pieces of gear with equally proven track records. An 11.5-kilowatt Onan and a Mastervolt inverter set the energy stage for refrigeration and the potential future addition of a watermaker and other electrical equipment.

CNB built the Lagoon 470 to ISO standards for Category A certification; this means the vessel must meet specific standards regarding structure, equipment, and stability. The vessels are delivered to North America on their own bottoms, and the transatlantic passage is an indication of the boats’ trade-wind ability. The delivery adds about $15,000 to the price of the vessel, and a good way to put those dollars to better use is to take delivery in France and sample a bit of cruising in Europe before sailing the boat to your home port.

Accommodation Plans

The charter-layout option is a four-bedroom/four-bath home afloat, sporting a roomy bridgedeck saloon that houses a spacious galley to port and an elliptical table and settee to starboard that comfortably seats eight and can be packed with 10 in a pinch. Two options are offered as personal-use layouts, one with a galley-down arrangement and the other a galley-up arrangement similar to the charter option. Heads are reduced to three, and all layouts provide a forward-facing chart table with enough room for electronics and some chart stowage.

There’s a clean, bright, functional flair to the styling below, and the computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) of the joinery has helped optimize visual appeal and still keep unnecessary pounds from piling up. The interplay between the raised deck and the spacious deckhouse affords plenty of headroom in the passageways, wide berths, and a sense of roominess not often found aboard four-cabin layouts on multihulls under 50 feet. Another big plus offered by a custom builder doing a production line of boats is the company’s willingness and ability to do interior options. We hear that there will soon be six interior layouts available for 2003 models.

In addition to these styling innovations, the Lagoon 470 features a commonsense approach to boatbuilding that keeps the boat light enough to keep sailors smiling while including a hull capable of handling intentional and unintentional beaching. The R&D work done by parent company Groupe Beneteau has also been leveraged to benefit buyers. For example, when it comes to rigging and other highly stressed components, Beneteau’s laboratory testing has given the builder valuable data that’s helped identify the right hardware for a specific job, a feature that gives boat owners more trouble-free years of sailing down the line.

Lagoon 470 Catamaran Review – What Makes Her Popular for So Long?

The 470 is an update of the older Lagoon 47 that has withstood the test of time and numerous versions based on this original blueprint.

This Lagoon Catamaran 470 Review will go over the 470’s weak and strong points and concentrate on what has made this particular yacht popular for so long.

The yacht was designed with two things in mind: plenty of space and great performance. Combined, those two aspects have made for a boat that is a sailor’s favorite.

Table of Contents

Accommodations

Space and openness are the keywords when describing the 470. The cabins, saloon, and galley are all roomy and comfortable, while the design and color choices make this boat sunny and cheerful.

There is also plenty of headroom, making the sailing experience that much better for tall passengers. The decks are given the same wide, easy-to-navigate spaciousness as the rest of the vessel.

Typically, the Lagoon 470 has 4 cabins and 3 heads, all with plenty of space and comfortable furnishings.

There is a galley-up layout and a big saloon, both are easy to move around in, and the saloon has extra room for lounging and socializing.

The design of the interior was kept simple with lots of sunlight allowed in from the windows to brighten it up.

The decks are wide and allow sailors to come and go without feeling crowded or cramped. The bridge has an incredible view, but so does nearly every angle on the boat. The 470 was designed with clean lines and a sturdy, lightweight shell that makes sailing feel effortless.

As with all Lagoon catamarans , the boat is easy to control, and even novice skippers do not find an issue with the controls. The sails are good-sized and require more attention with fewer crew members on board.

The lightness of the boat makes for a sailing experience not unlike floating on air. If you are a sailor who appreciates a quick, light boat, the 470 should be your first choice!

Performance in The Wind

The Lagoon 470’s performance in the wind may be found just slightly lacking to seasoned skippers who notice everything, but most skippers and passengers would hardly notice any difference. The 470 performs well and doesn’t feel underpowered in the least, even if it struggles somewhat with its windward ability.

Twin engines give the 470 added power for situations that call for the use of an engine. The 470 powered up is easy to control, and maneuver, and sails smoothly, giving passengers a calm ride even if the weather or sea conditions are less than ideal.

Cruising while using power is made simpler with the ability to use only one or both engines, but the second engine shouldn’t be necessary for most circumstances. It’s still nice to have it there, just in case.

Lagoon 470 VS 410

The 410 is a serviceable boat, but many sailors with a 410 are upgrading to the 470. The 470 simply has more room than the 410. Headroom is increased on the 470, as well as a widened galley that is noticeably narrower in the 410.

The 470 is also superior in wind performance, even with its issues, and the 470 does better in bad weather conditions, whereas the 410 tends to sail choppily.

Why Sail the Lagoon 470

• Comfortable furnishings
• Well thought out, free-flowing interior and exterior designs
• Easy to control
• Handles well under power
• Sails are easy to rig with a good size crew
• Twin engines are good for extra power and a backup if needed

In Conclusion

The 470 is an update on an old favorite and has become a favorite in its own right. The 470 is not as big as some Lagoon catamarans, but not every sailor is looking for a big boat. This cat performs well, and there are not any serious complaints about its performance or design. If you want simple, easy, and comfortable, look no further than the 470!

Thanks for the Very interesting and thorough review. I really love the idea of extra head room, that is a very big advantage.

Would you recommend the 470 for a small crew with only one experienced sailor? I have the idea on how you describe it, it might be better with a bigger crew. Could you recommend any other options that are more suitable for a small crew? A couple of friends and me have the idea of sailing around the mediterranean next summer.. And need some information on this matter 🙂

Hi Marteen,

The Mediterranean is a wonderful place to sail , no doubt about it!

Of course you can take an experienced skipper , but then you will have to do all the job down by yourself. Which mean, cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc..

If you want to relax and enjoy fully your sailing holiday, then I would suggest you and your friends to take a crewed yacht.

Don’t take me wrong a skippered yacht can be a great experience and you will improve your sailing skill:)

I hope it helped and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask, I’ll be more than happy to help!

Have a good day

Gosh what a gorgeous yacht! The Lagoon 470 Catamaran looks absolutely out of this world! I could stay in that for a week without it leaving the harbour!

Your review is very precise and honest and just makes me want to be on the yacht now! Does the price include the crew wages?

Yes the crew is included in the price, and if you want to spoil yourself, you can hire a cook and a hostess, but this will be as an extra

Thank you for passing by and for the comment.

I hope it helped, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions, I will be pleased to help

Have an awesome day:)

It’s really spacious and that rooms with the kids playing on the bed looked perfect. It’s been a while for me since I saw this kind of boats. It made me remember the “Water Worlds Movie’s boat”

I think those can only sail in calm weather, right? Also, liked the net a lot. It would be very funny to set on it looking underneath at the water 🙂

Yes it’s a wonderful boat for family and for couple of friends. There is a wide amount of space .It is not recommended to sail in a bad weather condition with any boat, and the catamaran is absolutely wonderful for cruising, not for racing. They can sail even upwind , but they will lose a little of they rapidity

Thank you for the comment and wish you a great day!

Its great reading about the 470, Actual new to this topic, but its obviously an area of interest.

This is absolutely an excellent review, giving every detail any one of interest will want to know about.

I will sure check in once in a while to the see what new stuff you have. Who knows just someday I should be able to afford the lagoon 470 for 7 days 🙂

Thank you for passing by and for the comment

I wish you a great day:)

I have owned sail boats myself and really enjoy sailing so chartering on the lagoon 470 catamaran would be a lot of fun. One of the best parts would be all the extra room compared to what I’m use to and the areas where you would be able to charter the boat would definitely be places worth seeing and sailing around.

Really nice post, gets one thinking about vacation.

Compared to monohulls , catamarans are much more spacious and faster. Many sailors have switched from a monohull to a catamaran and most of them wouldn’t go back to a monohull.

Maybe it will happen to you as well?

Thank you for the comment and wish you to sail soon:)

Reading your review, now I really want to visit Croatia and Greece. Well am fairly new to yacht sailings and would definitely consider this.

The pic and specs really indicate what you will be getting .

I really need a holiday, yacht sailing has made it on my top ten list.

I am happy this article awakens your desire to sail in Croatia:)

Thank you for the comment and I wish you to sail soon!

Lagoon 470 (Europe)

Introducing “Frania”, a pristine 2002 Lagoon 470 catamaran that has always been privately owned and never chartered. This 4-cabin version with a galley down stands out as one of the last Lagoon models that wasn’t designed with the charter business in mind. While she might not be brand new, Frania is fully cruise-equipped, boasting a decently sized watermaker, a 4-year-old generator, and meticulously maintained equipment. Everything on board is properly serviced, making her a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Lagoon catamarans of that era.

Currently, Frania graces the waters of Croatia and will soon be stored on dry in North Italy, near Monfalcone.…

— Paul Fosler

I just purchased my first large boat (my dreamboat) and Michael Streng and the rest of TMC was amazing! I really felt like I was a VIP customer because they were fast and easy to communicate with and worked ahead of me. It really was a treat and I would use them again any day!

— Collin Simmons

Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company have done an extraordinary job facilitating the sale of our catamaran. There were a couple of challenges (geography and timing) that made this sale a little tricky, but, as usual, Andrew was amazing. I’ve been buying and selling cruising boats for over 12 years and Andrew is, without a doubt, the best broker I’ve worked with.

— Mort Orlov

Andrew Hodgdon at TMC-St. Augustine kept us thoroughly informed during the sale of our boat and took the extra steps necessary to complete the deal. His knowledge of the process made a complex deal very easy. Needless to say, we are extremely happy and satisfied with the job that Andrew did.

— David Baxter

A shout out to Andrew Holland at the TMC main office, who handled the closing transaction of the sale of our boat. Very professional and thorough. Thank you!!

MAR MAR 450

Description

Lagoon 450 is ready for your sailing vacations in Southern Evoia and the Greek Islands Do not hesitate to fall in love with our LAGOON 450, named Marmar. To replace a reference in the market never is an easy task.The VPLP architects, together with Lagoon and the world renown Nauta Yachts design office succeeded beautifully however with the development of the new Lagoon 450.

Of course, the irreplaceable qualities of the Lagoon 440 have been retained as a starting point : a steering station on the fly bridge accessible from both sides of the cockpit, a forward cockpit, performance under sail...and an incomparable comfort in the saloon and the cabins.

Larger and with a bigger sail area, the Lagoon 450 also benefits from important improvements in terms of safety, performance and cruising comfort: the aft transoms are better protected for easy boarding from a tender, the cockpit is larger and the access to the steering station has also been made easier...and the sunbathing area on the fly bridge is something unseen on a catamaran this size yet.
